    Simpler is better. Too many visual distractions prevent the story and the images from being clearly seen. Try not to fill every inch of space - this can be visually overwhelming. Keep copy (titles, subtitles) at a horizontal format unless using copy as part of the design, not interpretation.

    Some Basic Guidelines From a Guy Who Designs Museum Exhibits

    By: Chris Prouty, Kansas Museum of History Exhibit Director

    1. Simpler is better. Too many visual distractions prevent the story and the images from being clearly seen. Let the words and the images speak for themselves. 2. A variety of textures and shapes are great, but dont overdo a variety of color. 3. Establish some sense of an orderly, thoughtful and balanced layout. 4. Try not to fill every inch of space this can be visually overwhelming. 5. Use variety in the sizes of images and graphics. Too much repetition can create monotony. 6. Allow the exhibit title to really stand out. Size, font and color can help create this. 7. Keep copy (titles, subtitles) at a horizontal format (unless using copy as part of the design, not interpretation.) Its much easier to read. 8. As well, keep the number of fonts used to a minimum. One font, for example, can be used for titles and subtitles, and another perhaps, for narrative copy.
